Pip has been on my machine for years, but recently I could not get it to work. To fix this I ran:

$ sudo python get-pip.py The directory '/Users/tomeldridge/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag. The directory '/Users/tomeldridge/Library/Caches/pip' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

But pip still doesn't work:

$ pip --version -bash: pip: command not found 

What is the problem here? Pip is clearly installed (and was before), but it simply will not work...

I think I might have caused this issue messing with $PATH.

When I run `sudo bash -c 'echo $PATH' I get:

/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:usr/local/bin 

Is this correct?
